Gotta keep on keepin’ on

Well, I don’t thing I prepared myself enough for the recovery part of surgery. This past week has been a lot harder than I was anticipating. Since my last post, there have been one too many breakdowns following along the lines of…“Ijust want a new nose!!!!”

Seriously, I’ve been breathing out of my mouth for a week. fml. It’s just a combination of things right now that is putting me on the verge of losing my dang mind. I have been stuck in this house for an entire week like a packrat, I am VERY antsy on account of I’m not allowed to exercise, Its been extremely hard to sleep so I have been weak and cranky, and I am just plain bored out of my mind!

Ahhh…sorry for the complete negativity, but that needed to get off my chest. Yep. So now that that little mini-rant is over, I shall move on.

First off, I wanted to show you all what I have been living on for the past week:

Thank God for this big fluffy cloud of comfort. I have to have my head elevated while sleeping for a while. By this point though, I miss my bed dearly….very very verrrrry much. I have seriously been on this chair for 98% of this week, haha.

Here’s my snuggle buddy:

She’s a sleepy-head, too.

How can you not smile at that face?? She has been by my side the whole time. :)

Okay, now I believe it is time for some food pics. Although I’ve been sleeping a lot, I have still found the time for some awesome eats, of course.

aw i'm sorry to hear recovery isn't treating you well .. try to hang in there and look forward being able to breathe without any trouble for the rest of your life! =) a brighter days a'comin' kristi! <3

Aw girl I hope you're feeling better. I know it's so frustrating to be basically at a stand still for so long, and having something as little as your nose holding you back from everything. Things will get better though! Probably just takes a few more days! I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers, definitely.

Looks like you've got quite the companion by your side to keep you company, and a comfy place to rest. (Oh, and lots of good eats)

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling too great. It can make me go crazy too not being able to do anything. Just remember, a week or two of discomfort is a pretty good trade-off for years of easy breathing!

Your dog is absolutely adorable. They really are the best companions! All your food looks incredibly yum as well. That crumbled muffin over PB2 greek yogurt looks heavenly, as does your neon pink juice!

About Me

I am passionate about living a healthy lifestyle. I love any kind of exercise, but am particularly fond of running, yoga, and dancing.
